This week, in things I could get d.o.w.n with… The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas had no shortage of go-get-em gadgets, despite a slow down in sales over the past year. One thing is for sure, techies have been a dreamin! Top 5 new tech toys…

Fujifilm X-Pro 1.
Fujifilm’s X-Pro1 mirrorless ILC (interchangeable lens camera). A unique sensor with colour filters over the pixels and the three interchangeable lenses: an 18mm f2, a 35mm f1.4 and a 60mm f2.4 (28mm, 50mm and 90mm). Click it. 

OLED TV by LG.
4mm thick, virtually bezel-less. Organic light-emitting diode television. Light as a feather, stiff as a screen.

Chaotic Moon Labs’ Board of Awesomeness.
Motorized longboard controlled by a combination of Kinect and a Samsung Windows 8 tablet. It uses video, voice, gestures, accelerometers, and localization data to anticipate the rider’s intentions and accelerate or slow down. 32 mph. Ride Out. 

The EXODesk by EXOPC.
40-inch touchscreen display that rests flat on the surface of your desk, and hooks up to your Windows or Mac computer. Interact with your computer or let it standalone. Like a keyboard, or chess board or well… it’s up to you, two. 

 
MakerBot.
MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer. 2 colors. 3D printing. Legit.
 

I had a dream… 
VIA Mashable: HP and Intel will be hosting the first-ever live stream of a concert on Twitter next week at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. The headliner: electronic music master DJ Tiësto.

The concert will kick off the launch of a new 10-episode series on YouTube called “In the Booth” — a behind-the-scenes look at how Tiësto uses technology to make music and connect with fans. The private event at the nightclub XS at Encore in Las Vegas will stream live from HP and Intel’s newly enhanced Twitter brand pages.

Tiësto will play a 90-minute set starting at 10:00 p.m. PT. It will then play on a loop on HP and Intel’s Twitter page for the following 48 hours.

“We have offered streaming on the site before, but this is the first-time ever that the site will feature a live concert,” Rob Pietsch, Twitter’s director of West Coast sales, told Mashable. “HP came to us with the idea and we couldn’t be more excited to hear how the company and Intel will be using their Twitter brand pages to reach out to the public and become destination sites.

“It’s a first for us, and we expect in the future that more companies will integrate streaming video into their pages.”

In December, Twitter announced that it would be introducing Facebook-style brand pages for companies to customize and highlight content. HP and Intel are among the first 21 brands invited to test out the new platform – other companies include Dell, Disney, JetBlue, Nike and Paramount Pictures. Read More…

Something is in the water… Everywhere we turn (or tune in) this week, there’s a new app in the atmosphere. Don’t worry - I’m here to make it clear. Check out Night Out, Flud, Path and more, and tell me what you’re typing into…

Night Out.

A Night Out with friends is more than tagged photos on Facebook and a hangover. A Night Out is about finding a place that you can call your own and being connected to the go-to bars, clubs and restaurants in your city. It’s about finding the next best band, drink, appetizer or party all right from your smart phone. It’s about finding out there’s a new late night Happy Hour at that same ol’ place you’ve been going to for years. A Night Out is about Discovering New Places. Finding the Deals. Connecting. Making Memories. Did I mention it’s a creation of a collective clan member? Form a line for these boys (aka Brock) ladies… 

Path.

Path is the Smart Journal that helps you share life with the ones you love — your thoughts, the music you’re listening to, where you are, who you’re with, when you wake and when you sleep, and beautiful high quality photos and videos. And for those of you who like to share on public networks like Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr, and Facebook, you can easily check-in, upload photos and videos, and tweet directly from Path. 

New Twitter.

The latest version of Twitter offers a faster, simpler way to stay close to everything you care about on your iPhone.  Home is where you start from: a personal collection of Tweets from the sources you care about. The Tweet details show rich information such as replies, retweets and embedded images. Connect is the place to see who followed or mentioned you, retweeted or favorited one of your Tweets. It’s where you keep the conversation flowing.  Discover is where you can tap into the stories and trends people are talking about in your world. You can also find friends, browse interests, and explore hashtags here. Me puts you and your interests front and center. From here you can exchange Direct Messages with your followers.
